Abbott Makes Tyler Stop on Book Tour

TYLER (Staff/AP) – Gov. Greg Abbott stopped in Tyler Thursday on a bus tour to promote his book detailing how he overcame an accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Abbott greeted the public and signed copies of “Broken But Unbowed” at Hastings on South Broadway. In 1984 at age 26, Abbott was jogging when a falling tree crushed his spine and left him using a wheelchair. So why read the book? The governor told KETK, “You can tell from what is going on in the presidential race. Now, there is great angst about what is going on in America. I provide a solution to the challenges we face in the United States today.”
